Our Team

The scientists and engineers behind Qusp

Qusp was founded by neuroscientists and engineers with deep ties to the labs that shaped modern EEG and brain-computer interfaces — UC San Diego's Swartz Center, UCSF, and EPFL.
The Qusp Neuroclinical Systems team

Scientific Leadership

Dr. Elena Marchetti
Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer. PhD in computational neuroscience from UC San Diego's Swartz Center; 15+ years advancing EEG source localization and ICA-based artifact removal.
Dr. Raymond Okafor
Co-Founder & CEO. Former neuroprosthetics research engineer at EPFL; built closed-loop brain-computer interface systems deployed in clinical trials worldwide.
Dr. Priya Nair
Chief Medical Officer. Board-certified neurologist trained at UCSF; directed a hospital epilepsy monitoring unit and grounds every Qusp deployment in clinical rigor.

Research & Engineering
